-The Open Computer Vision Library is a collection of algorithms and sample
-code for various computer vision problems. The library is compatible with
-IPL and utilizes Intel Integrated Performance Primitives for better
-performance.
+OpenCV (Open Source Computer Vision Library) is an open source
+computer vision and machine learning software library. OpenCV was
+built to provide a common infrastructure for computer vision
+applications and to accelerate the use of machine perception in the
+commercial products. Being a BSD-licensed product, OpenCV makes it
+easy for businesses to utilize and modify the code.
+
+The library has more than 2500 optimized algorithms, which includes
+a comprehensive set of both classic and state-of-the-art computer
+vision and machine learning algorithms. These algorithms can be
+used to detect and recognize faces, identify objects, classify human
+actions in videos, track camera movements, track moving objects,
+extract 3D models of objects, produce 3D point clouds from stereo
+cameras, stitch images together to produce a high resolution image
+of an entire scene, find similar images from an image database,
+remove red eyes from images taken using flash, follow eye movements,
+recognize scenery and establish markers to overlay it with augmented
+reality, etc.
